This product has charges associated with it for providing dedicated seller support and OS-level hardening by Blume in line with ANSSI compliance. The ANSSI Minimal Level Oracle Linux 9 AMI delivers a compliance-ready operating system that balances security and flexibility for production environments.
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for dedicated seller support and operating system hardening by Blume.
Our AMIs are specifically hardened to meet ANSSI compliance at the level you select - whether High Level or Minimal Level. The Minimal Level configuration applies a core set of baseline controls that improve security while preserving flexibility and compatibility across diverse workloads, while the High Level configuration provides maximum security reinforcement for sensitive production environments.
The Agence Nationale de la Securite des Systemes dInformation ANSSI is the French National Cybersecurity Agency, responsible for defining and maintaining strict guidelines for securing information systems. Its recommended hardening guidelines establish a baseline of security controls designed to minimize vulnerabilities and enforce system integrity.
Minimal Level hardening applies essential security controls that strengthen the operating system against common threats, while maintaining performance and adaptability for a broad range of use cases.
High Level hardening applies the most stringent set of controls, focusing on maximum resilience and compliance for environments where security assurance is critical.
Achieving ANSSI compliance matters because it ensures that your operating system is configured against recognized security baselines, reducing vulnerabilities, strengthening resilience against attacks, and meeting regulatory or industry mandated governance standards. With Blumes hardening, you can trust that your OS is built to align with strict compliance expectations from the start.
Finally, our operating systems are not only compliance ready but are also consistently updated, ensuring that the latest security patches are applied in a timely manner to maintain protection and reliability in production environments.
Highlights
Blume has been established since 2020 and is a trusted brand relied upon by many large corporations for secure and compliant solutions.

You pay by the hour for this hardened Oracle Linux 9 image, billed through your AWS account. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes to large compute, memory, storage, and accelerated options. Your hourly rate follows the instance type you launch. Larger or more specialized instances carry different rates than smaller ones. You add software charges on top of standard AWS infrastructure costs. Choose the instance that fits your workload's compute, memory, and architecture needs, and the matching rate applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What am I actually paying for in the software charge beyond the EC2 instance cost?
You pay for an Oracle Linux 9 image that Blume has hardened at the operating-system layer, mapped to ANSSI BP-028 Minimal Level controls, plus seller support. This software charge sits on top of standard AWS infrastructure costs for the instance you launch.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped?
The hourly software charge meters running time on the EC2 instance. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the software fee. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate AWS charges, not the software license.
Does this product cover compliance for my whole environment, or just the image?
The charge covers the operating-system image and the controls described in the listing. Blume states buyers remain responsible for workload configuration, identity, networking, application security, and monitoring. The image profile does not certify that your deployed workload or wider environment is compliant.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
We recommend scoping your launched EC2 instance to only your internal network and restricting access to your own IP address for maximum security.
How to Connect to Your Oracle Linux 9 Instance Using SSH:
Locate your key pair: Ensure you have the .pem key pair file selected when launching the instance. Save it securely on your local machine.
Set permissions: Update the file permissions on the key file so it is not publicly viewable. Example: chmod 400 your-key.pem
Find the public DNS or IP: In the AWS Management Console, open the EC2 Dashboard and locate the Public DNS (IPv4) or Public IP of your instance.
Connect with SSH: From your terminal, run the following command, replacing your-key.pem with your key file and <public-dns> with your instance details: ssh -i your-key.pem ec2-user@<public-dns>
Accept the fingerprint: When prompted, confirm the fingerprint to establish the first-time connection.
You are now connected to your Oracle Linux 9 instance via SSH.
